If it unlocks one door, it should unlock all. The fob usually has to be pressed twice to unlock all doors. One press is usually just drivers door. If your door button doesnt unlock them, then check the fuse panel, and the relay..

Testimonial: "I will check those! Thank you!"

    If it unlocks one door, it should unlock all , Not necessarily .

Key fob and door unlock button will not unlock all the doors ???? None ? Drivers door lock , passengers doors ???

Testimonial: "Jeff, when using the fob or the door unlock button, only the driver door unlocks. Maybe one of the others. I can't get the hatch open (only once in a blue moon) and the other 3 doors. I was thinking a relay was going out or just bad all together. Just being wonky and random. Pain in the rear when my hands are loaded!"

    LOCK/MIRROR 10 A fuse--Located in the I/P fuse block, supplies power for the door lock switches and relays.

    • DR LCK 20 A fuse--Located in the I/P fuse block, supplies power to the relays.

    Door Lock and Unlock Operation
    When a door lock switch is activated in the lock or unlock position the body control module (BCM) will receive a voltage signal on either the door lock switch lock or unlock signal circuits.

    The BCM, upon receipt of a lock switch lock or unlock signal, will switch the appropriate lock relay control circuit(s) to battery positive voltage. This will energize the appropriate lock or unlock relay(s). The relay will supply voltage to the door lock actuator lock or unlock control circuits to one side of the lock actuator. Since the opposing side of the lock actuators are connected to ground through the other lock actuator control circuit and the normally closed contacts of the lock or unlock relay, the doors and liftgate will then lock or unlock appropriately.

    Three relays are used to operate the lock. Driver door unlock, passenger door unlock and all door lock. This is done to isolate the driver door lock actuator so it can be unlocked by itself using the keyless entry transmitter.

    You can't check the relay's (replace them ) The relay's are what they call PCB relay's - printed circuit board relay's . Soldered onto the circuit board inside the I/P fuse box. . If the fuse's are good the next thing to do would be to view a wiring diagram an test electrical circuits . I would assume you don't have a factory scan tool too check the switch inputs to the BCM . The lock relay's are controlled by the BCM , an you can view this data with a good scan tool .

SOURCE: key fob no longer unlocks car doors or trunk

you may have to replace the remotes and then have them reprogramed for the car because they do go bad but if there is an autozone near you they will test the remotes for free

SOURCE: my Porsche Key fob no longer unlocks the doors

Insert key into door barrel or ignition lock and turn key, whilst doing this press the unlock/lock button, the led on the dash should flash to indicate this has initialised the key to the car, then remove key and test operation of remote. If this fails then a new remote plus coding to the car by your dealership is needed

SOURCE: 08 dodge ram key FOB reprogramming

ATTENTION: You MUST HAVE one working remote to add one more to the system. If you do not have one working remote right now then these instructions will not work. You will have to have a Locksmith or dealership use a computer to program the first remote for you.

Click here to find a Locksmith in your area to program this remote.
1. Enter your vehicle and close all doors.

2. Fasten your seat belt ( fastening the seat belt will cancel any chiming that may
confuse you during this programming procedure.)

3. Place key into the ignition.

4. Turn the ignition to the ON position ( DO NOT START THE ENGINE )

5. Press and hold the UNLOCK button on a working remote.


6. Continue to hold the UNLOCK button, wait at least 4 seconds, but no longer than
10 seconds, then press and hold PANIC button.

7. When a single chime is heard, release both buttons. The chime indicates the system
is in program mode.

8. Press and release both the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons, simultaneoulsly on the remote
to be programmed.


9. A single chime will be heard. The chime indicates the the remote was recognized.


10. Within 4 seconds of hearing the chime, press and release any button on the remote
being programmed.

11. A single chime will be heard The chime indicates the remote has been programmed.

12. Repeat steps 8 to 11 for a total of 4 remotes.

13. Turn the ignition to the OFF position or wait 60 seconds to exit program mode.

I replace a new starter on 2008 Saturn suv 2.4 4 cylinder still doesn't crank

Sounds like a security system issue. Using the key fob to lock and unlock the doors will usually reset the system. You may have to do this procedure a couple of times and see if it works

2008 Aura XR, Key FOB will unlock all the doors but the drivers, and will only remote start the car if the Fob is in the car.

Interesting. My best guess is that there is problem with driver's door lock actuator or switch. The remote start won't work because the car has to confirm that the doors are locked before initiating the starting sequence.

How to unlock Saturn gas door?

There is no other release for the door. The key fob is all there is. GM has a bulliten on the issue and your dealer will have to fix it. The bulliten number is PIT4436. Give the dealer this number and they can look it up and repair it. Good Luck
